Dessicant- Do Not Eat!!
What is the world coming to? Have there been that many people actually eat the dessicant packs to necessitate a warning label?
If that's the case we need to label everything that's not a food product, and we also need to label the foods themselves-"Warning- This eggplant is intended for oral consumption only, do not insert in ear!"

I know a guy at work who told me that his Mom ate of those silica packs when taking her medications (apparently some of them used to look like pills) and did get very sick.
I think the warning is there for the same person that would give their kids a bunch of plastic bags to play with.

I'm just waiting for the day when someone will invent an edible dessicant. How great would that be to open a package or parts and have a nice little snack inside? They could make various flavors too.

You can't eat it, but its non toxic... how does that work...
We have a punch and chisel set at work, in the warnings it says "do not use for any other use" I wanna meet the lawyer that thought that one up.

At work, the milk crates have a "Illegal to use other than the intended purpose". How can you use a milk crate in an Illegal matter?

True story: My dad worked with this guy at the post office in San Diego. He got a call to go to the emergency room because his wife and son were very ill. Apparently the kid who was about 12-13 years old found a pack in some radio packaging. He ignores the warning and taste one. He says "Hey mom, these don't have a taste." So she takes some, next thing you know they're both on the way to the hospital. Dad said his co-worker was hired under some job program when LBJ was in office for employing people that couldn't hold jobs. In other words the guy was an idiot, he found a stupider wife and they both had a really, really stupid child. Dad wasn't even surprised when it happened since he'd been working next to the guy for a couple of years.
The world is filled with dumb people that won't heed the warnings no matter how often they see them.
